I will share my bitter experience with Seraphim. It so happened that they did not get to rest this year. The whole family went by car and the youngest daughter was severely seasick. It vomited at every turn. The decision was made to turn back. Mom and daughter went home by train, and my son and I had to go by car.

I will share my bitter experience with Seraphim. It so happened that they did not get to rest this year. The whole family went by car and the youngest daughter was severely seasick. It vomited at every turn. The decision was made to turn back. Mom and daughter went home by train, and my son and I had to go by car. The room was booked on 06/27/2019 (3 days before the trip) with Serafima, she said that the room was free, as the man had just canceled the reservation. On July 1.2019, when we were returning home, at about 8 am, I called Seraphim and explained the situation. He said that we would not be able to come and asked to return the money for the reservation (3200r). Serafima said that our reason was trifling, then she said that she was preparing a room for us, resettling someone. To which he told her that it was not true that the room was free. Serafima said that she did not return the reservation, as they refused before the arrival. I understand if I booked a room in winter or spring, and refused just before arrival, but I booked (! ) 3 days before arrival. I doubt that during these three days there was a large influx of tourists or booking calls. All this was voiced by Seraphim. To which she said that this year many people refuse to book and her whole business went downhill. We agreed that she would return half the amount, would not lose a client for the next year, and we would remain friends. The day was drawing to a close, but there was no money. In the evening, he reminded us of our agreement, but in response - silence. She never transferred the money, well, I hope these 3200 rubles will save her business, but I still have a residue from such an attitude. By the way, she does not answer the phone well. calls and does not return calls. So draw your own conclusions. And we as a family will fly to Abkhazia next year, but to a different guest house.

"Breeze" is located at the very beginning of the village of Tsandripsh. The place is very quiet and peaceful, there is almost no entertainment. Only small cafes, canteens and the beach, where they occasionally ride a jet ski and a banana. Therefore, I would not recommend this place for young people. But for families with children and people of retirement age, Tsandripsh is perfect (although it is still preferable to settle in its center - it is also calm there, but there are more shops and there is a minibus stop to Gagra and Pitsunda).

But for families with children and people of retirement age, Tsandripsh is perfect (although it is still preferable to settle in its center - it is also calm there, but there are more shops and there is a minibus stop to Gagra and Pitsunda).
Now about the hotel itself. A four-story building, all windows and doors face one side (mountain view) and are interconnected by a single "balcony", except for the last attic floor. The area is quite large, fenced. There are wooden gazebos, swings and a sandbox for children. There is no pool. Each hotel room has air conditioning, TV, toilet and shower (which is very important, because in Abkhazia there are very often hotels with shared facilities on the floor). A big plus is free wifi in all rooms. I brought a small iron with me, but I didn't need it, as both an ironing board and an iron are provided.
"Breeze" is sold as RO, a hotel without meals, but right there, on the territory of the hotel, there is an open summer cafe with homemade food, which is prepared by the owners themselves. Everything is very tasty and homemade. Tangerine juice and homemade jam from fruits exotic for northern people are also sold here: feijoa, figs. Again, all homemade.
Excursions can also be bought through the owners of "Breeze". From myself, I would highly recommend a trip to Lake Ritsa - a stunningly beautiful place.
The sea is five minutes walk. The beach is a large pebble. At first, it is a little unusual and uncomfortable to sunbathe on such pebbles, but then you understand the advantage - there is no ubiquitous sand, beach towels are always clean. The sea is also transparent and clean, probably because there are not very many people, much less than on the beaches of Adler. In the beach cafe you can rent sun loungers, but we did not.
Of the establishments, I really liked the hookah bar "Barberry", where sincere guys work and every evening they show a movie. Located right on the beach, not far from the "Breeze".
Prices are much lower than in Moscow and slightly lower than in Cherepovets. Branded Abkhazian wine Apsny, Lykhny, Psou - 180/200 rubles per bottle. Sukhumi beer 70 rub. Barbecue 150-200r, cocktails in the bar about the same. Hookah in Barberry (very good! ) - 400 rubles.
In general, when we were going to go to this hotel, I expected much less, since the price of the tour was very low. And "Breeze" turned out to be a wonderful little hotel with a homely atmosphere, quiet and calm. I am very grateful to the hospitable owners of the hotel for the magical days of the holiday that we spent here!
Finally, some advice for those who are going to Abkhazia:
- Take cash! An ATM was seen only once in Sukhum, and this is 100 km from Tsandripsh. Rubles are in use here.
- It is still better to go by car, as it is not easy to get to neighboring cities. Minibuses run rarely and haphazardly, and a taxi ride to the same Gagra will cost at least 500 rubles.
- If you still had to use the services of a taxi - negotiate the price in advance and specify that it is for everyone, and not for each passenger separately. Otherwise, at the end of the trip, the named amount can be increased by multiplying by the number of people traveling.
Abkhazia attracts and falls in love irrevocably, despite the traces of the past war, which are found here at every step. I wish a good rest to everyone who decides to visit this magical country!
